Recent review from the Lesbian News by Teresa DeCrescenzo: "Warming Trend is... populated with a fine, credible cast of supporting characters... It's a good read, as we've come to expect from Kallmaker. The contrasting settings-Alaska and Florida-and the richly drawn characters make us want to connect with them, especially with Ani and Eve. Even the rather esoteric interest in ice rings true."

From the Inside Flap
"What pirate wouldn't want to ravage you, looking like that?" Jane hooked her thumbs in her wide leather sash with a possessive leer.
Renee took the one step necessary to lift her lover's hands from the belt. Smiling, she surveyed Jane's costume. "You look marvelous in breeches. And that shirt, all that muslin."
"Arrr!" Jane wiggled her hips. "It's not me breeches you'll be wantin', lass, but what's under 'em!"
"Oh, no hokey accents."
"Avast! What yonder wench stiffens me resolve?"
"I've never heard it called a resolve before," Renee quipped. Torn between laughter and wanting to wrap her hand around what she knew Jane had on under the breeches, she turned back to the mirror, uncharacteristically flustered.
Jane was behind her again, with another of those soft, loving kisses on the nape of her neck. "Are you sure, sweetheart? We don't have to go through with it."
Meeting Jane's gaze in the mirror, Renee said firmly, "I am absolutely sure. I've always wanted to do this."

Emotions and Steam Abound,
By
This review is from: 18th & Castro (Paperback)
From the seductive tales of myth to the fantastic legends of true life romances, Ms. Karin Kallmaker allows us to peek into the happenings of 18th & Castro on Halloween. Ms. Kallmaker spins the colorful thread of each unique character's fabric of fate to weave a magical tapestry of lust and love. With sensuously skillful caresses of erotic imagery, Ms. Kallmaker reminds us that each of us leaves an impression on those around us, knowingly or not. Once again, Ms. Kallmaker craftily passes on the passionate conviction that all women are sexy, even those covered in maggots. It's Halloween on 18th & Castro. Laugh, shed tears, and be seduced. You won't be disappointed.

Fresh, Witty, Sexy,
By
This review is from: 18th & Castro (Paperback)
After penning more than 20 novels, award-winning author Karin Kallmaker has once again given the reader a fresh look at romance. 18th & Castro is a witty and sexy collection of short stories with a unique, creative, and fun approach.
18th & Castro is a compilation of stories that occur in one apartment building in San Francisco's Castro District on the biggest night of the year, Halloween. They include accounts of couples, singles, women looking for love and those just wanting a one night stand. The individual vignettes embrace threesomes, strangers, friends and lovers. Some are erotic and steamy. Others are loving, sweet and full of yearning. But all of the tales are short, concise and to the point. Kallmaker has capitalized on her trademark in this book, her versatility as a storyteller and her inclusiveness of her varied audience. While every story is a little different, some overlap with the same apartment dwellers, lending continuity to the collection so it acts like a novel more than an anthology. Kallmaker writes each to fit the individual situations. There is not one size fits all for her. Her characters, their setting and the erotica all match the story told. This author knows the language of love and sex and is not stuck on one style when sharing with her readers. Kallmaker's strength as an enduring well-liked author has been her understanding that we, the reader, want and need fantasy. She delivers on this every time whether in a short story, anthology or novel. Within this fantasy, she has learned to reach out to the reader with a bit of realism mixed in that does not overwhelm us. Her story "Tick, Tock" does that well in 18th & Castro. It is a pause in the middle of the book that is sobering and heartfelt, but it fits perfectly with the overall theme and advances the book naturally. This clever and exceptional collection is a must for anyone who enjoys a little diversity in their erotica. You will look at Halloween with new appreciation after reading 18th & Castro.

Golden Crown Literary Society Award Winner!,

This review is from: 18th & Castro (Paperback)
Terrific anthology - you'll read this more than once
This is one of the few, the very few, anthologies that you will read again and again. With most anthologies there is one or two standout stories that you remember long after you give a book away or put it on a shelf. The stories in 18th & Castro are all memorable. Passionate, romantic, funny, emotional sweet, sad, and best of all - well written. They are also hot, really really hot. This book is filled with stand out stories - Come Hither, Woman The Works Brand New Woman Nine-Inch Nails Avast! From Behind You Looked Like... Borrowed Plumage And you not soon forget the poignant `Tick, Tock' I could list them all because they are each so memorable, Another thing about anthologies, you very rarely remember which story is which until you re-read it again. The Bella Books anthologies standout from other publishers in that respect - each one I have read has been a winner.
